In this part we will describe the controls and indications of, all the cabin exits, the escape slides, the emergency equipment and the evacuation command system . Let’s start with a short introduction to the CIDS.

In this part we will describe the controls and indications of, all the cabin exits, the escape slides, the emergency equipment and the evacuation command system . Let’s start with a short introduction to the CIDS.


Various cabin systems are controlled, tested and monitored by the Cabin Intercommunication Data System (CIDS).

The CIDS is composed of two Directors, one in active mode, and one in hot standby. It is linked to the Forward Attendant Panel (FAP) for control and monitoring of the cabin functions.

The director communicates through Decoder Encoder Units (DEUs) with the cabin, passengers and crew systems.

The Programming and Test Panel (PTP) is used to program and test the CIDS .

MENUMENU


Each door has an observation window equipped with a sun-shield.Near the window, there are two electrical indicator warnings :

- one indicator which illuminates white when the slide is armed and the door handle moved up,- one indicator which flashes red in case of cabin pressurization when both engines are off and the door is disarmed.

The lights are also visible from the outside.

Let’s continue with the overwing exits.

In case of a cabin depressurization, oxygen masks automatically drop down. The masks are located over the passenger seats, over each cabin crew station, and in the lavatories. There are always extra mask at all seats, each crew station and in the lavatories, although the specific layout is optional.

MENUMENU


Each oxygen unit is fitted with one generator which is designed to produce oxygen for either 2, 3 or 4 masks.

The masks are provided with a flexible supply hose, a flow indicator and a reservoir bag. They are attached to the generator by means of a pin which automatically starts the generation of oxygen when it is pulled away from the cylinder.

A door stop is used for the test procedure and prevents the masks from dropping. The number of masks contained in the unit is indicated on it.
